The Moment I Knew it was over....

I wasn't sure how long it had been since I didn't feel like I was choking from lack of oxygen whenever he was in the room. It might have been when we sat in the marriage therapist's gloomy purple office, and my husband said, "I feel like I am drowning in a river, and she's standing at the edge, throwing rocks at me."
